Share your favourite awa
Send us an image of the awa near you. Ensure there are no people in your image and always stay safe near water.
Remember - Take only photos, leave only footprints.
We have a couple of spot prizes to give away for photos shared by 8 October 2021.
Please tell us
- The name of your awa
- Where it is
- Why it is important to you.
You could also tell us:
- What is your vision for the health of your awa?
- How could you be a kaitiaki* for your awa?
*Kaitiaki comes from the word Kaitiakitanga which can be described as guardianship and protection.
Kaitiakitanga is typically a collaborative effort but can start with individual actions such as:
- learning about a local awa, including its cultural significance
- considering how your actions impact on awa
- exploring opportunities to participate in any current restoration work
- contacting a local council if you think there is a need for restoration work to happen.
